Rangers chief executive Martin Bain has revealed the club are targeting three new players as he urged fans to keep the faith following this summer's Ibrox exodus.
Danny Wilson became the sixth member of the Gers' Clydesdale Bank Premier League title-winning squad to leave the club when he signed a three-year deal with Liverpool on Wednesday. But Bain has backed manager Walter Smith to work his magic to offset the loss of the likes of Kris Boyd, Kevin Thomson and Nacho Novo and deliver a hat-trick of SPL titles.
"As things stand right now, we need three new players - guys of a decent standard," Bain told the Daily Record. "At the moment, we have a couple on the radar, players we are looking at. It's two at the moment but by the end of the transfer window, I hope to have signed three."
Debt-laden Rangers are currently operating under a business plan agreed with major creditors Lloyds Bank, which meant there were always going to be departures from the club this summer.
Bain added: "We both know the players we want to go for. We were also well aware that this current situation was inevitable.
"It is about bringing cash in now to make the pot as big as we can. We don't want to end up selling people at the end of the window and then not have time to spend the cash that generates.
"We know it looks bad to be going to Australia with just 13 players but if the fans have faith we will sort this out.
"No, we won't have tens of millions of pounds to spend but we are doing exactly what needs to be done."
